Australia manager Graham Arnold interested in Hibernian job - source

Australia boss Graham Arnold is interested in succeeding Neil Lennon as manager of Scottish Premiership side Hibernian, a source has told ESPN.

Reports surfaced on Friday that Lennon has been suspended by the club after an exchange with chief executive Leeann Dempster. Hibs confirmed in a short statement that he will not be in charge of Sunday's Premiership game against St Mirren.

Prior to taking charge of the Socceroos, Arnold enjoyed stellar success in the Australian A-League, guiding minnows the Central Coast Mariners to a 2013 A-League Grand Final triumph before a trophy-laden stint with Sydney FC.

Arnold's Sky Blues won a Premiership-Championship double in 2017, breaking the A-League record for most points in a single season -- winning 20 out of their 27 matches and losing just once.

If successful in his bid to take over Hibernian, Arnold would be a familiar face to some in the Easter Road dressing room, with Australia internationals Mark Milligan, Jamie Maclaren and Martin Boyle all on the club's books.
